Budapest was my goal and it did not disappoint! Viking offered an itinerary that fit the bill so I invited a few travel buddies to go and we all had a splendid time. As one of my friends said, “Viking takes care of business!” The highlight of the trip other than Budapest arrival at night was the amazing concert in Vienna! Our Program Director David Morgan alerted us to stay awake for the ...
My sister & I traveled with 4 other women. One of the gals in our group had traveled with Viking before & told us about this trip. Our room was adequate with drawers & closet space to store our clothes. We stored our luggage under our beds. We had a balcony which was awesome. Shampoo, conditioner & shower gel is provided. We had a steward (?) that made our bed & made sure we had a large ...
I'd dreamed about this cruise for a long time. After my husband died I decided to do it. Best decision I could have made. Viking has managed COVID issues exceptionally well. We traveled when daily testing was still required, as well as to return to the US. Viking took care of the necessary requirements in about as non-intrusively as possible. Public areas were always clean and stocked, ...
The whole experience was from start to finish 5 stars all the way. The international flights and transportation to/from the airport were wonderful. Almost immediately after boarding the ship and checking in we were able to enjoy lunch and got familiar with the ship. The floors in the bathroom in our room were heated which was delightful. The rooms were spacious and there was plenty of space for ...
From the first couple of Viking commercials I saw on public television it became my dream to take a river cruise. To my delight, it exceeded my expectations. From the booking of the trip through its conclusion at the departure airport, everything about it was superb. We booked a pre-cruise extension in Prague - highly recommended - Viking had a presence at our hotel and provided tours and ...
We found the commercials on T.V. to be very appealing and liked the idea of a river cruise. We investigated a few other companies that offered river cruises but liked the offer made by Viking.
From the moment we set foot on the boat we received superb attention and treatment. What stood out for us was the trouble that Martin went to arrange for our boat to get to Vienna earlier than scheduled ...
We initially chose to cruise at Thanksgiving because Viking was offering great deals. But we quickly fell in love with the Christmas markets in each town and village. We picked up Christmas gifts of glass, and wood and ceramics. We drank way too much gluwein and loved it.
There was a particularly good art museum in Lintz just off of the place where we docked.
We were also completely wowed by ...
Spent 3 days in Prague and got to know the city; shuttle busses allowed independent exploration; took the provided 41/2 mile walking tour and although she moved fast she did try to accommodate my difficulty walking fast and up/down stairs. Wanted to explore the countries we visited. Great ports and activities, but tour guides for the "slow walkers" had no mercy and most of them just moved way too ...
Viking is an excellent river cruise company. The staff is excellent in that they have thought about things that you didn't even know you might need! The food was delicious, the bar was well stocked And if you want to make sure that the ship will have your favorite drink, you can call customer service at least a month ahead of your sail date and tell them what you will want them to have on hand. ...
